Running Form

No matter the sport, one key thing I notice when working with athletes is their efficiency of movement.....especially their RUNNING FORM! What you do with your body while trying to move forward is the key to it all. Does your torso rotate too much? Are your arms crossing mid-line? How is your stride? These questions and more are things we address on a daily basis.





Here's the best sprinter in the world exhibiting some great things:  hands going "hip pocket to eye socket," torso straight, head still.  I can hear you---"He's a straight-ahead sprinter; I'm a basketball player...this doesn't apply to me."  I hear it all the time.  Even moving 15 feet from point A to point B requires efficiency of movement.

Every athlete involved in the process of moving can benefit from a better running form.

Here's an example of bad trunk rotation moving up & down the basketball court:

Trunk rotating, arms going to cross mid-line......little things like this will lead to inefficient movement which will, in turn, lead to getting up & down the court slower.
